Skill issue maybe. But kindness certainly didn't help the prosecuted for the rest of the show.

Maybe a balance is needed between me being proactive and merlin being kind, bc merlin sure needed a bit of the former (this is really more of a complaint for the showrunners rather than merlin. I read so many fics of merlin being proactive and helping magic that canon is slap in the face with his passivity and class traitorness)

yeah Merlin’s approach to certain issues definitely show the writers’/showrunners’ hands than his actual character (where he is pretty outspoken in these topics) but there’s also the nuance of keeping his magic secret and yada yada

but also, one of the reasons we like Merlin is because of his goodness and open-mind. there is a reason he is a foil to Morgana, who was proactive in magic users rights, had an identity crisis of her own, and descended into villain-hood. there is a reason why his struggle between his duty as Emrys and Destiny is so compelling and how it slowly become his struggle between Destiny and Arthur

are there moments where i wish Merlin did certain actions differently? 100% yes i do (2x08 for example and his relationship with Morgana) and i know a lot of the time these narrative choices were made in order to keep Merlin in his 5 season struggle of ideologies by the showrunners themselves which just hurt his character in the long run (similar to how they revert Arthur’s character back to his s1 caricature sometimes 🙄) bc if he progressed too “quickly” then it could lead to a different outcome than they wanted at the end of the show

but i digress

hey. hope this message doesn't bother you. I love you. I love your work. you are one of my favorite fic authors, I am absolutely obsessed with everything you write. reread everything ten times over, drarry or not, fluffy or angsty - even when it absolutely shatters my heart (e.g. for lack of wanting, SUCH a great fic btw i'm so obsessed with it). the four doors? life changing. two to lie and one to listen? engraved into my brain for eternity. what's mine is yours? what a ride holy shit, im VERY normal about it. wrapped? my comfort read. and so it goes.

if I could aggressively smother you with kudos and love I WOULD!!!

awhile ago you said that there's no such thing as "big deals" in fandom and I 100% agree but at the same time you are a big deal TO ME!!! not in the sense of any kind of hierarchy but purely based on the fact that I think you are such a cool person and your writing is amazing and poignant and your presence in fandom makes it so much better. it's been a pleasure following you here on tumblr and just reading your tags and posts.

idk I just think you rule. that's it. thank you for hanging with us. MWAH 💛

ahhhh anon sorry for leaving this message sitting in my inbox for a couple of days but !! i have zero idea how to react to this!! you're so kind!! thank you!! please discard any and all inclinations u have that i am a cool person bc i can assure you i am NOT!!

I know there are many bad takes about Gale on this site, but the worst takes I’ve seen on another social media site in another language are much more abhorrent than anything here tbh, the recent one I’ve seen even gets some popularity among his “fans”... They were basically saying it’s Mystra who made him the humble man he is now, without her influence on him he would be as egotistical as in his god ending, and more than a hundred of reblogs are all thanking Mystra for “training her lapdog so well” for them🤢

Did we even play the same game? Isn’t his god ending a direct result of Mystra making him think he will never be enough as he is, and he can only find his self-worth through gaining more power? Didn’t Tara say he’s not himself anymore and she would no longer be his companion in his god ending, she knew him long before Mystra made him her chosen, he was powerful enough before his relationship with Mystra, if he’s anything like god!Gale at the time wouldn’t Tara just leave him? I’d imagine he would have been more confident and had a more stable self-image if Mystra had never contacted him, therefore he didn’t even need the Gale of Waterdeep persona. He would always have been Gale Dekarios in that timeline. And people glorifying Mystra’s grooming and abuse towards him and unironically calling him “her lapdog” is just... I have no words. But what do you expect from an online space that’s infested with terfs and radfems? They just won’t recognize or acknowledge any abuse from women towards men...

[immagrosscandy]

Why is it your name "i am a gross candy?"

my nickname has always been candy, but i guess saying "i am candy" felt a bit empty for me. so my thought process was like this:

"candies are sweet, but i don't see myself as sweet, so instead how about gross? heck yeah it sounds awesome"

i wanted to go with something that was good but also bad?? i don't know really. i know it sounds terrible that i'm basically calling myself gross 😅, but i felt like saying "i'm sweet" wasn't really fitting me, i thought.

i know i'm not a sweet person because i have flaws. i can be selfish and quite lazy, so i guess saying i'm a gross candy was like saying "i know i can be good but i know i can be bad, i'm something in between"

...

and now that i'm saying this... i think i was reeeeally overthinking this user name back when i was 17 😂

don't get me wrong, i really liked the nickname and i still do! honestly i'm gonna stick with this online name until i come up with something better (and that is never)

i never thought something such as a nickname would have something like a story about autoreflection, i wanted a funny nickname like "hey how about a gross candy? because candies aren't usually gross!" or something like that 😂😂 but i guess this is what i've got

it's still cool tho! :)

[welcome-to-green-hills]

Just had this idea now! :3 Probably maybe a pre-Sonic 3 idea thing XD But I think it'd be super adorable and awesome :3

It was hard for Maddie to resist those adorable puppy eyes Tails was giving her.

Those puppy eyes that can let this sweet, baby fox cub get away with ANYTHING (Thank goodness he was such a good boy to begin with).

Tails had asked Maddie if she could go with him somewhere privately, as he had a present for him. Maddie was still getting use to her three boys giving her gifts...this past Mother's Day, she got the most precious present of all - a necklace with a small heart pendant, and three little gemstones detailed it.

A blue gemstone, a yellow gemstone, and a red gemstone.

She LOVED it.

In the boys room in the attic - Tom was keeping Sonic and Knuckles distracted downstairs...or trying to stop them fighting over Smash Bros again - and Tails shyly hugged his tails as he went over to.

"So, what did you want to give me, baby-"

And quickly...Tails gave it to her.

It was a sweet little backpack, very similar to his own, only Maddie's was a bit more of a darker shade of yellow, nearly gold, with a few red details (And most adorably, little badges on the front pocket...each one a different colour, that looked similar to that of the colours of Team Sonic).

Tails giggled shyly, hugging his two namesakes shyly, "L-Look inside?"

Maddie wanted to coo at her baby boy, but she did just that, and looked inside the bag.

"...Tails?"

"Hehe...surprise?"

Maddie pulled each little item out - tiny little gadgets, that looked very familiar. A circle...thingy, similar to the gadget that blew that one GUN soldier into the air. A little pew-pew gadget. And even a little boomerang thingy, similar to what Rachel used to save Maddie from getting apprehended at the hotel!

"Sonic and Dad... told me about how well you used those gadgets back in Hawaii, when..." Tails gulped a little, looking away...only looking up when Maddie gently cupped his chin to look at her, her warm smile brightening his heart, "A-And...I thought you'd like your own...in case you REALLY need them I mean! N-Not that you're not cool enough! Your amazing! B-But, maybe...i-if anyone-"

"Tails."

Tails shook a little, looking up at his Mom...Maddie just had the sweetest smile, and opened up her arms. He immediately flew into them, clutching onto Maddie tightly

"Tails, baby. I LOVE them." Maddie giggled, gently giving Tails' nose a little boop, "You're amazing, you know that? You need to tell yourself that. Just as much as we all tell you."

Tails giggled and snuggled, wrapping his two tails around his Mom...never wanting to let go.

"And hey." Maddie continued, earning a curious look from Tails...and she just gave a cheeky wink, "Now I get to fulfil my dream of being a secret agent, or a spy!"

Tails just giggled, and continued snuggling into his Mom. He hoped she'd never HAVE to use these little gadgets...but he was so happy she WOULD use them should that time come.

...And boy did that time come.

Awwww❤️🥹❤️

I love that Tails gave his mom deadly gadgets that he invented for Mother’s Day. This is a very Tails thing to for his family. I love it!❤️✨

[ratwars]

I need you to post more <3

I need to be buried in a shallow damp grave from which my arm can burst out of as I pull myself out dramatically in 2-5 days before the earth reclaims me eternally when I am hopefully done dying.

[mcybree]

thanks for doing the lord’s work dl!scott was toxic and should be treated as such

WHY DID THIS SEND ME 10 INBOX NOTIFICATIONS HELLO?????

[tacticalgrandma]

You probably already talked about her but I can't find it, so can I ask if you have opinions/ideas around Orin? It's so rare to find other who like her!

I am always down to talk about Orin, thank you anon!!

Basically I think the durge storyline accidentally creates this theme of female abuse victims, but is too cowardly/too ttrpg-space misogynistic to actually handle it (see tag rant). Repeated cycles of abuse is an overall theme in BG3, but with all the Durge’s victims being women, and with Orin and Helena both being abused by Sarevok—there is this pattern that comes up. You can see this echoed with how Ketheric feels entitled to abusing Isobel as well.

There have been a lot of posts going around talking about how tragic Orin is in that Durge gets a chance at redemption because of her, but she never gets that same chance—that tragedy is definitely compelling. But I don’t know. I really like writing angry women. And Orin’s storyline shearing away from how gendered her victimization is, not giving her more than a breath of acknowledging her abuse, not letting you be angry on her behalf—that makes writing for her, to fill in those gaps and explore those parts of her character, really attractive to me.

Anyway. BG3 stuck some fridged ladies and crazy-incest-bitches in its story because those are high fantasy tropes and they didn’t want to actually address the sexism in them. I think with a female Durge especially, you can make a nice and angry revenge story for Orin from all that. I see some of that stuff in this fandom & it inspires me to make fanworks too. She's that sweet spot of compelling enough in source material for her to be interesting and defined, but with blank spaces in her story that are just dying for transformative fandom.

Also I’m a sucker for villains who are friends with each other, and none of my other most recent fandoms have given me a villain roster that I could really hc into that. Also she has done nothing wrong in her life, ever.

[grungiiuvu]

Anon again,, my bad my bad 😔😔, have you read up to the cabinet scene, I promise you’ll love it😤😤 not sure if you read this far but Fu Ailian is the best character 10/10 you’ll love her omg

[infizero-draws]

in reference to hermitshipping/trafficshipping on this blog btw, i've historically never used those tags (other than a few instances where i felt it might be especially needed) on my art just bcuz

1) a lot of times for my art its very vague. like scar and grian are just talking here seemingly but if i myself had shipping intentions when i drew this, should i tag it as trafficshipping?? that's the kind of vagueness that made me decide to just not in general. because

2) i post a LOT of trafficshipping content, so i don't see a need to tag it. if you're someone who doesn't like that content, just block me 👍

[papyrus-onlyblogokay]
